I'd expect 100 litres for that !!!!

weight on a rope with knots every 6 foot

Thank you very much! I’m certainly going to explore all avenues before “giving up”. I do like a challenge. I can but try and if the answer is no at the end of it, then I will be content. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Based on what the boat was worth in 1992 perhaps? Ooh, I know - let's borrow an earlier idea: what about introducing... "(Barge) Pole Tax"? (What could possibly go wrong?)

This is a terrible idea. So I have quite a nice boat but no income, how does that leave me? Y'all think I should have a crap boat as befits my income. Funny how these ideas are always expounded by those they won't effect.

And empty the loo

Yes it's called capitalism. It's been happening for a while.

So, am I the only one thinking ... "I don't want to tie up where I'm told to, I stop in the middle of nowhere when I want." However as I have no TV on board I can imagine the entertainment from about 4pm when everyone starts turning up to grab a bollard. There's always one N08 H3AD that'll want to take charge and start ordering everyone around by boat length so we can get another one near a bollard. Then in the morning there'll be a race to get off to make sure we get to the next charge point in time. No, not for me.

Hello all Well as promised, i'm back with updates after visiting the boat today And Mystery solved..... It turns out the valve closest to the pump, under the sink wasn't a quarter turn, it was just stuck!! And one strong chap later, it is once again loose functioning correctly and the water sysyem is restored. Mum and I would like to thank each and every one of you that took time to respond and help us. I learned a lot that I'm certain will be useful in the future. Best wishes Jayne and Hilda.

This afternoon 2022 Duck Sheffield Fountain ... ... which has glass sides and thence ...

Yep I'm inclined to agree.. I'll contact them and see how far I get ... although it looks like the advice from CRT may be quite variable. Will find out

Turn around keep your hands in your pockets and walk quickly away. It will be a never ending fight against water ingress - you will regret the purchase for the rest of your life. If your budget is dictating that you are looking at boats like this I'd suggest that you try and get a bit more saved up and then look for half-decent boats. I
